On September 11, 2001, Tom Burnett Jr.’s heroic actions inspired our nation shaken by the horrific terrorist attacks. The actions of Tom and the other passengers of Flight 93 saved thousands of lives and protected our American freedom.
One of the most fitting ways to honor Tom Burnett Jr. and the others who sacrificed their lives on September 11 is to recognize those who serve our community every day. The Tom Burnett Jr. Hometown Heroes Celebration will honor these community champions.
In addition, the event will raise funds to support the important mission of the Bloomington Crime Prevention Association in its efforts to reduce crime and promote positive community engagement through education and volunteerism.
The Tom Burnett Jr. Hometown Heroes Celebration will serve to:
The 2011 Tom Burnett Jr. Hometown Heroes Awards
Remember Harmon Killebrew is a baseball legend who played for the Minnesota Twins from 1961 - 1974 and became one of the greatest sluggers of all time. Revered as a hero to many on the baseball diamond, his work off the field made him a true community champion.
Recognize Jim Ramstad served Minnesota in Congress from 1991 to 2009. He was the chief co-sponsor of the landmark Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Parity Act, and he serves as a senior policy advisor and board member to local and national substance abuse advocacy groups.
Raise The eighth grade faculty of the Bloomington School District developed and implemented a citizenship program in honor of Tom Burnett Jr. The program has been adopted across the country and raises awareness of community involvement.
The Bloomington Police Department will also honor people in the community who saw a need and 'Did Something'.
